Thad Moffitt

On January 9, 2020, it was announced that Moffitt would join DGR-Crosley for the season-opening race at Daytona.

In 2019, Moffitt traveled to England to run a 1981 edition of grandfather Richard Petty's racecar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

In early 2018, Moffitt tested at Daytona International Speedway and announced races at Fairgrounds Speedway, Pocono Raceway and Lucas Oil with the potential for more races to be added later. In his second start of the year, at Salem Speedway, Moffitt was involved in two incidents, one with Natalie Decker and one with Jack Dossey III. Moffitt rebounded from a mid-race spin in his next race to claim his first top ten, finishing tenth in the Menards 200.

Moffitt made his ARCA Racing Series debut in April 2017 at Fairgrounds Speedway, driving a car reminiscent of one driven by his grandfather Richard Petty, for Empire Racing Group, a satellite team of Richard Petty Motorsports. He ran three races in 2017. Moffitt's best finish was eleventh, at Lucas Oil Raceway.

Growing up in a racing family, Moffitt cut his teeth in go-karts at age fourteen and later moved up to quarter midgets and limited late models, running at tracks like Caraway Speedway and Ace Speedway. Speaking about having racers in the family, he said that advice will be given upon request but also that older relatives wanted him to develop without help. Moffitt was the 2016 Southeast Limited Late Model champion, and won his first late model race earlier that year.
